More details to this question:
I have some properties outside the country, mostly real estates. I will also be offered a high paid position soon after my marriage. In this case, I would like to know if I can keep the properties all to myself, and will be separate financially after my marriage. Thank you very much.

Generally, any property (real or personal) that you have prior to marriage is your separate property. However, if you make payments on the mortgage, title, insurance, repairs, etc. with your income after marriage, your new spouse COULD obtain a partial interest in the property or at least request reimbursement under the Family Code for 1/2 of whatever you paid. However, to be perfectly safe, the best plan is to obtain a prenuptial agreement which will preserve any and all property, income, etc as your sole and separate property.
